Nobody does grimdark and weird quite like Michael R. Fletcher. He's a Winds of Time Hall of Famer and has added another disgusting addition to the collection. Smoke and Stone is a fantastical mind trip in the best of ways. 

Fate of the Fallen is the pleasant surprise Matt needed during these tough times. An epic fantasy adventure that's short and sweet, and never stops moving - much like Aaslo. 

Fetching steals the show, and Matt's heart. The sequel that lives up to the hype and gives fans more of what they want. The True Bastards by Jonathan French! 

In an attempt to broaden his fantasy horizons, Matt delves into UPRIGHT WOMEN WANTED by Sarah Gailey. Turns out it was the best decision he's made all month because this book is a wicked fun read. And let's be honest - they had us at "queer librarian spies". 

In this all too prescient novel, Paul Tremblay once again scares the pants off of Matt. Rabies were already one of my biggest fears - but Tremblay adds an extra dose of horrific to my paranoia. Check out Survivor Song, the horror book of the summer! 

Talk about *way* overdue! Matt finally gets back with Rin and the gang in this superb follow up to The Poppy War. With The Dragon Republic, R.F. Kuang has entered the chat when discussing the best series of the last 5 years. 

Matt finally returns to his fantasy roots by giving his all powerful and totally not meaningless, Liveship Character Power Rankings! Who took the top spot? And who frustrated him to no end? (Clue - it rhymes with a certain ancient Greek warrior society...) 

50 episodes! Who would have thought? And what better way to celebrate than gushing over Grady Hendrix's fabulous My Best Friend's Exorcism! The perfect summer horror story that revolves around my favorite theme - friendship. Hope ya'll enjoy and thanks for listening! 

A special comic filled episode of the Winds of Time podcast! Matt read Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volumes I, II, and III with his 8 year old daughter. She had some thoughts! 

Matt travels back to the world of Riyria with The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter. It's a fitting book to read during these troubled times, but most of all it had Matt itching for a Revelations re-read!
